Year-round flea and tick prevention for your pets is so important, but especially around this time of year!

🌿 Fleas can be carried by many different wild animal hosts, such as foxes, raccoons, birds, and rodents, and can easily jump onto you or your pet as you walk by. Symptoms of flea bites in pets include itching and scratching, flaky skin, redness, scabs, hot spots, and hair loss. Fleas are also a common cause of both anemia and tapeworms.

🌿 Ticks prefer humid and shady environments, especially areas with woods, shrubs, and tall grasses. Ticks are known to transmit diseases including but not limited to Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

🌿 There are many different options available for flea and tick prevention. Please contact us if you have questions about which preventative option is best for your pet!

'Tis the season for delicious homemade food and gathering with family and friends! Involving our pets in celebrations is part of the fun, but there are some foods that we should avoid feeding dogs and cats.

🍗 Salty and fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis and GI upset in our furry friends. It may be tempting to let your dog chew on things like poultry or ham bones, but these are highly likely to cause blockages and/or perforations in the GI tract. Some ingredients such as grapes, garlic, and onions are toxic to dogs.

🦃 Bland/non-seasoned turkey meat, plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!), green beans, and plain sweet potatoes are foods that are safe in moderation for pets to eat.

🐾 If your animal has a sensitive stomach or other health conditions, it may be best to skip new foods altogether. Be sure to keep leftovers and trash out of reach of pets!

If you think or know that your pet got into a toxic food or substance, please contact your nearest veterinary clinic or a pet poison help line right away.
